Overview The Company has a unique private collection of antique silver, contemporary silver, jewellery and art medals dating from the 15th century to the 21st century. The Collections, which nearly all bear the London hallmark, number some 8,000 items. These items are used either for their original purpose, or to display in exhibitions, or to inspire contemporary patronage of living craftsmen.  Display of Collections A selection of antique and modern pieces is displayed during part of the year within the Hall and can be viewed on Open Days. There is a regular programme of loans from the Collection to major exhibitions in this country and abroad.
